What if freedom was our new form of security
What if… With the absolute confirmation that old patterns, old societal systems, old health approaches, old anthropocentric philosophies, male-centred hierarchies, white-privilege and capital-accumulation finances are taking us down the hole of self-destruction… It seems rather logic that the solutions will come from connecting to each individual where we all are at, not where we all […]
…through tough times.
There is grief and there is looking away. There is anger and there is putting up a face. There’s fear and there is hiding. And then there is presence. With whatever there is. Tough days are these. Environmental disasters, political shocking panoramas, gender and racial persecutions… I mean, what is there that’s not happening? I […]
Living in the shadow… no more.
(This post is prompted by the indignation felt and experienced by conscious people facing the present dynamics around human rights on social media. We know who we are.) There has been times when turning into clandestinity was the only solution for those who were prosecuted for their ideals and actions to establish a fairer […]
There is only thing more important than Truth…
There is a white wall I look at every day where I should write this in big letters. We are all doing our best. We’ve developed certain values and we imagine a world where these are prioritised. Not seldom we identify where things are going pear-shaped, when the freedom of choice, of speech, of […]
What is to be a woman?
Woman. Female. Feminine. Have these concepts ever been discussed more than nowadays? What do they mean? What is to be one but not the other? What is to be all and more? Identity is paramount. Whatever we identify with, it must be honoured, so we feel respected, accepted and included in the community. Identity discerns […]
“in friendship or in love…” Kahlil Gibran
Sounds basic, doesn’t it? But I still remember the time when several of my relationships would not be based on “freedom to be” but rather “expectations to do”. Even if these friendships started with the excitement of the encounter, they soon would develop in dynamics of Co-dependency, of unmet needs and consequently disappointment. If it […]
Learning how to work with your business partner I
We had such a revelatory time together. Put two self-employed practitioners together. Both with years of research and experience, many hours of client work, their own classes and coaching approach. Ask them to create a programme about expressing desire and boundaries authentically. Ask them to give their best. And wait for drama… Yes! Pure revelation. […]
When London is self-love only
There’s a very specific phenomenon to London that I have never encountered anywhere else, not like here. For a few short days, London women’s self esteem is not even a question. The sun has been out for a few weeks now, at any opportunity the parks and pub terraces are noisy. It’s like wild garlic […]
Who does not like peaches?
Can you believe that? There are people who do not like peaches! I used to really struggle with the idea that in the world there would be people who despite my efforts still wouldn’t like me. What a shock it was when I realised that their approval of me did not depend on my […]
Are you ever at ‘home’?
There is this moment when I turn my body towards him, my chest touches his, the arm lands on his rib cage, my hand around his neck and fingers touching his ear lobe, my leg bends on top of his, my head fits with his collar bone and my face… rests. I am home. […]
